Switching the Contents of the Plug-in Window

Accessing the multitude of plug-ins active in a song can be a clumsy process requiring the opening and closing of each plug-in window. Menus in the plug-in window provide a simpler way to navigate around active plug-ins, allowing you to view any plug-in in the same window regardless of its channel or its order in the signal chain.

This navigation technique also helps when you're copying presets from one location to another and identical processing is required. The two violin tracks are a good example of this, since they both could benefit from similar EQ and dynamics processing. In this exercise you navigate from the Violin I channel to the Violin II channel using the plug-in window menus, copying and pasting settings from one plug-in to another.
